A feature in today's paper tells a story about one of the University !s greatest scientists who, according to the cus tom of the day, buried his children in the back yard. A growing University, however, has changed his back yard to an almost central, campus spot, and the hurrying feet of students and faculty, forgetting the past, have beaten paths across the tiny plot of ground set aside for this his torical marker. Out of respect for a great member of the' faculty and in memory of the traditions of the past, , the University ad ministration must provide protection for the monument, in the form of a low wall or fence. Otherwise, in the future a sunken and dilapidated grave will have to be removed. We Go To The Dust Bowl Three doctors, every one of them an alumnus of the Uni versity, were standing on the edge of the intramural fields the other day watching the dust cloud which has hung over the games so of ten during the past few years. One of them remarked, "This is deplorable. Those boys should not be out there endangering their health." The intramural director evidently agreed with them, for he had decided the night before to call off the intramural games for the next two days. He realized that the situation was intolerable, that lungs full of dust and the added hazard . of the hard ground from lack of rajn would not make for healthy playing conditions. At first glance it might seem that it would be fairly simple to merely resurface the fields, or at least wet them down to reduce the amount of dust. But the problem is much deeper than that. j When the fields were built, a great deal of rock had to be blasted away, and the rock is still there about a foot -and a half beneath the surface. It would take a tremendous amount of 'topsoil to make a springy turf with this handicap. But it! isn't possible to even put topsoil on the fields in any great amount, because there is a five-foot slope toward Fetzer stadium from one" end; to the other. Any topsoil would wash away before grass could be made to grow. ,The problem is further complicated by the use of the fields for parking at football games. It often takes as long as a week to get them in playing condition after a football week end. Carolina weather, with its long dry and wet spells, makes it even harder to keep the intramural playing grounds fit for competition. There is no feasible method for making the present fields permanently suitable for healthy intramural competition; new ones must be found. W. K. Car ieel -Managing Editor .Business Manager .Circulation Manager THE ls30 CLASS By Adrian Spies "The Sisters" (Sun and Mon) is a drama-romance thinly veiled as a do mestic portrait. Miss Bette Davis, as one of the three sisters, offers one of the most complete acting perform ances of her admirable career. The picture is essentially concerned with her romance with Errol Flynn a "fascinating young newspaperman" in the colorful setting of the old San Francisco. As a lady who loves passionately and moves triumphant through such catastrophes as the San Francisco earthquake, Miss Davis presents an other bid for the annual acting award. One of these years she is going to get it, and this picture might be the me dium. Errol Flynn sheds gallons of glamor as the wandering young journ alist for those who like such heroic tendencies in their leading men. Anita Louise and Jane Bryan, as the two lesser sisters, are adequate in their limited roles. They are little more than a pretty background for the volcanic dynamics of Miss Davis. "The Sisters" is one of those rare motion pictures which achieves blood and thunder and convincing drama at the same time. It is a complete and carefully directed picture, and worth seeing. "Vacation from Love" (Tues) is also a vacation from all things original. A "B" film supplemented by the lesser studio names, it is the usual light comedy-romance. There is nothing very serious said or done other than a marriage or two. A starless cast, which is headed by Dennis O'Keef e and Florence Rice, does its best with mediocre material. "Five of a Kind" (Wed) continues the Dionne Quintuplets series in the usual manner. The young ladies now quite grown up sit in the middle of the set looking cute, darling, etc. And a number of experienced and capable actors form a circle about them from which all of the acting is done. These performers known somewhat mali ciously in Hollywood as the "Dionne nursie wursies" were meant fjor bet ter fates. Those who emote and sigh around the children are Jean Her sholt, Claire Trevor, Caesar Romero, Slim Summerville, Henry Wilcoxen, and Inez Courtney. They love, live, and laugh creditably. And the Dionne quintuplets coo, giggle, and lisp with excessive histrionic projection. '.'You Can't Take It With You" (Thurs and Fri) is one of the most pleasant domestic comedies of the year. Although far from the spontaneous affair that the original Broadway production was, the film has retained enough of the slightly eccentric hu man interest to make it worth seeing. Frank Capra, whose directorial methods have been "exposed" in sev eral current magazines, is as meticul ous and expert as ever. By blending Robert Riskin's alert dialogue into the scene-stealing tendencies of the star studded cast he has produced enter tainment easy to take. The old tale of a weird lovable family, the movie is distinguished by the high grade of its acting. Lionel Barrymore, Jean Arthur, Edward Arnold, James Stewart, Spring Bying- ton, and Misch Auer headline a sur prisingly capable cast. "You Can't Take It With You" was the dubious winner of the Pulizter Prize last season. It was assailed as scanty and lacking of any real con tent. These same criticisms can be carried over to the Hollywood version -7-which has, of course, increased the importance of the lovers involved. But it is good screen comedy. And box offices have learned to swell with laughs and starve with Art. "Three Loves Has Nancy" (Fri mid night and Sat) is good because of two essentials which are set forth in an "unstupendous" way. It has a clever story and capable acting. The result is pleasing sophisticated humor. Miss Janet Gaynor, who will be the wide eyed naive child, is cast as the trust ing little Southerner who invades New York. Befriended by Franchot Tone and Robert Montgomery as two very worldly members of the literatti she falls party to a clever comedy. Per haps the most commendable feature of the film' is surprisingly good for Hollywood's cocktail hacks dialogue. Away from the obvious and trite, it is a springboard for the often muffled talents of .the three leading players. For those who favor themselves as patrons of all things sophisticated and stacotto, we recommend "Three Loves Has Nancy." Visitors To Hill Mrs. F. A. Flowers, Mrs. Rawlins McKihney, Miss Mary M. McKinney, Mrs. Eric Gellerstedt, and Mrs. Allen Merrill, all of Dothan, Alabama, are visiting in Chapel Hill this week-end. They are staying at the Carolina inn.

The largest city in the world will have been made waltz-conscious by the time the 12 zone finalists arrive in New York. Sponsored by a 'big newspaper and charity organization tie-up, contestants will "go into their dance" in one of the city's big gest auditoriums seating about 14, 000 spectators. An elaborate program is now in preparation. The festivities will start at about 8:30 P. M. on December 14 and end around one A. M. M-G-M will try to have the stars of "The Great Waltz" present the prizes in person. An exhibition by famous pro fessional dance teams will help build up this festival to major importance. Motion pictures of the event will be taken and exhibited later on in New York theatres. This program will be one of the finest and most extensive affairs ever held there. .

It is in tensely desired by a number of cabi nets that this lead into a union of" the Negro and white student YMCA's in the state organization." Theme Of It All At 11 o'clock Dr. Smith will give the opening address of the meeting closely following the conference theme of "Spiritual Resources for. Personal Living and Social Action."

The lat ter was also the son of Richard J. Ashe, University graduate of 1812, who was a member of the legislature and later a lawyer in California. Mrs. Hope Summerell Chamberlain, author of "Old Days in Chapel HiU," is a grand-daughter of Dr. Mitchell. Dr. Mitchell lived in this house for 40 years. Its first occupants after it was finished in 1793 were Dr. David Kerr and his wife Mary, who was the first lady to live in Chapel Hill. Gov ernor Spaight next lived in the house. His wife was the first lady ever to attend a University commencements Other occupants were Professor Bing ham, President Chapman, Dr. Hep burn, Professor Gore, and Professor- Patterson. Forty Years Of Service Dr. Mitchell joined the University faculty in 1818. President Caldwell and William Mosely were the other two faculty members at the time. Dr. Mitchell's 40 years of service at the University were marked by. outstand ing discoveries in science as well as mathematical contributions. -During President Swain's adminis tration he decided to enclose Chapel. Hill with a rock fence to keep live stock out. He called upon Dr. Mitchell to decide-what kind of stone should" be used and how the rocks should be laid. Dr. Mitchell laid the first rock to demonstrate fence-laying, to the la borers, and parts of the fence still enclose the old University part of Chapel Hill. Dr. Mitchell's home was torn down so that Swain hall could be built in 1913. Now the only reminder of the first University president's home and another tribute to Dr. Mitchell's great service to the University and North Carolina is this single tombstone, standing between two mulberry trees on a small plot of ground in one of the busiest parts of the campus. Moonstones come from Ceylon. .
